Water-bottle bombs' discovered in Uwchlan

UWCHLAN — Police officers and a bomb squad were called to a home on Laurel Moors Drive on Sunday afternoon after a homeowner discovered what appeared to be several “water-bottle bombs.”

According to Uwchlan police, the homeowner found the devices shortly after 1 p.m. in the township’s Season Development section. Officers discovered four devices, one of which appeared to have been detonated. The other three were still intact, police said.

The Montgomery County Bomb Squad was notified of the situation and responded to the home, according to police. Bomb squad members felt the best option was to neutralize the devices before attempting to transport them.

Police said the devices were then neutralized, photographed and discarded.

No description of the devices was provided by police, but “water-bottle bombs” are typically crude devices made with common household supplies and come in many varieties.

Investigators ask anyone with information about this incident to call Uwchlan Police Department at 610-692-5100.
